The Echo Bay Waterfront Redevelopment Project in New Rochelle proposes to create new housing, retail space and a brand-new five-acre park with public access to Long Island Sound on a site that is currently underutilized and unsightly.

The project would revitalize a neglected corridor in New Rochelle with improved infrastructure, new buildings and new green space for not just the immediate community, but for nearby neighborhoods, as well. It is a large, complex project and as such it has been rightfully the subject of intense debate.
